INDIANAPOLIS — It’s four days before the Super Bowl and the Broncos’ defense still can’t cover the New England Patriot tight ends.

“We might not be able to either,” said Perry Fewell, the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator. “I don’t think we covered them in the (game) we played them.”

In a game on Nov. 6 between the Giants and Patriots, New England’s Rob Gronkowski had eight catches for 101 yards and a touchdown and Aaron Hernandez had four receptions with a touchdown.

Gronkowski has not practiced since suffering a high ankle sprain in the AFC championship game 10 days ago, but the Giants fully expect him to play.

“I feel better every day,” Gronkowski said this morning. “The rehab is going well. Everything is moving forward and we’re on pace of just feeling better every day.”

Because they have two of perhaps the league’s top five tight ends, the Patriots present a significant matchup problem for most defenses.

“Not for us,” said Giants’ linebacker Michael Boley.

The Giants still won that November game, 24-20, intercepting Tom Brady twice.

The Broncos lost twice to the Patriots this season. Hernandez burned them for nine catches and 129 yards in the first game on Dec. 18 and Gronkowski caught three touchdown passe in the first half of the playoff game Jan. 14.

“I don’t want to say it makes it tough for us,” Boley said. “We’ve got a good group of guys who can cover a lot of people.”

Mike Klis was with The Denver Post from Jan. 1, 1998 before leaving in 2015 to join KUSA 9News. He covered the Rockies and Major League Baseball until the 2005 All-Star break, when he was asked to start covering the Broncos.

Four assistant basketball coaches at Division I schools and a top Adidas executive were among 10 people charged Tuesday with crimes including bribery and fraud as part of a wide-ranging federal investigation into corruption in college basketball.

CenturyLink, the telecommunications company that ended its sponsorship agreement with Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall because of his protests during the national anthem last year, said it will not terminate its agreement with current client Emmanuel Sanders.
